Thanks for this info. I'm looking for something that produce NA if the
date is not exactly in the specified format so that it can be
corrected. I was relying on the format parameter of the date for that.
The issue is that there can be so many variations in date format that for the
time
being I still find it easier to delegate the correction to the user. A
particular nasty case is when there are multiple date format in the same
column.
Best regards,
Jeremie
